 ### Solution
 
+Kadane's algorithm
+
+```cpp
+class Solution {
+public:
+  int lengthOfLongestSubstring(string s) {
+    // Kadane's algorithm
+    vector<int> hMap(255, -1);
+
+    int cur = -1;
+    int localMax = 0;
+
+    for (int i = 0; i < s.length(); i++) {
+      if (hMap[s[i]] > cur) {
+        // If the element occurs again, reset
+        cur = hMap[s[i]];
+      }
+
+      hMap[s[i]] = i;
+      localMax = max(localMax, i - cur);
+    }
+    return localMax;
+  }
